Education, Encouragement and Enforcement

Education

The Winston-Salem Bicycle & Pedestrian Program worked together with the Police Department to develop educational materials that could be used to inform pedestrians and motorists of their rights and responsibilities so people can safely enjoy walking around the city. Our goal is educating citizens so they can safely travel on city sidewalks and share spaces with respect so that enforcement is seldom needed.

Brochure

This brochure provides an overview of tips for pedestrians, motorists, bicyclists and residents.

Bilingual Safety Cards

These cards provide tips for each group to create a safer environment for pedestrians and motorists as they interact on city streets. The cards are provided with English on one side and Spanish on the other.

Enforcement

While the Winston-Salem Police Department is working to educate cyclists and motorists about safely sharing the city’s streets, the police may also enforce state and local laws, writing citations for pedestrians or motorists when they deem it appropriate.

You can review local ordinances pertaining to pedestrians by using the search feature on the website. (opens in a new window).
